Incubator help. Sportsman 1502. Humidity issue.
Hi. I have chicks hatching now. There seems to be a problem. I've put both pads in the water tank, plus another pad, and I'm still only getting the humidity at 67%. The fan is blowing and the chicks are starting to zip, but then the feathers are getting stuck to the membrane. Any suggestions of...- mick&cori

Rooster was pecked and now his eyes are matted shut.
Well, Remi has one eye open, but the other eye has pus around the outer eyelid. He still hasn't opened that one, but at least he won't be blind. I'm willing to try some cream to help with the infection. So, I can use neosporen? Just as long as it isn't the kind with pain killer, right?- mick&cori

Ok. I haven't put anything on the eyes yet except Vaseline, just to give them some moisture. Where can you get polysporin? I've never heard of it before. I like the name One Eye'd Jack! This rooster's name is Remington. We call him Remi for short. A few of my animals have guns and ammo names...- mick&cori

I tried the warm compress and that didn't work. I put a thick coat of antibiotic cream over his eyes. I think he's worked one small hole in the slit of his eye that he can partially see, or at least see shadows. Thank you much. He's my baby and I hate it when they get hurt and suffer, even for...- mick&cori

My rooster got pecked within an inch of his life. Both of his eyes are closed, matted shut with blood, and swollen. His whole head and comb is a bloody mess too. I have him separated, sprayed him with Blu Kote, helped him eat and drink because he can't see. It's also cold here in Indiana...- mick&cori

Pekin Duck Club!
OMGosh!! That is the cutest pic!! Smith and Wesson were hatched by a jersey giant chicken. So, when I got them, I actually bought a black feather duster for them to hide under. They'd hide in the feathers and peek their little bills out. It just cracks me up what the ducklings decide to bond with!! -

Thanks for the name compliment. Along with Smith and Wesson (my only ducks), I have chickens named Ruger (Ru for short) and Remington (Remi). I have 30 other chickens with names, but those are my gun and ammo names. I can list some of my other names. I'd also like to know what other people... -

Pekin Duck Club!
Hello again! Smith and Wesson are doing great. When they follow me to their pool, they've started running and flapping their wings. So, I figure they are either pretending to fly, or they think it makes them run faster. While in their pool (kiddie pool), they dive under and swim as fast as... -

Thanks for all the answers. I think for the winter months I'll try to give them opportunities to swim. I think I'll try to make the straw deeper in their house. I'll keep an eye out for the feathers. I got their names (Smith and Wesson) because I'm a gun fan. We have a shooting range in... -

Hi! I'm new to this thread and a new Pekin duck owner. I live in Indiana. I have 2 Pekin ducks that are 6 weeks old named Smith and Wesson. I've had chickens, turkeys, guineas, cows, and goats for years. So, I bought a kiddie pool for them. They have a 5 gallon tub in their house. Here...
